Our amazing volunteer Dulcie is 91 years old and provides befriending companionship to two clients – both younger than her, demonstrating that age is no barrier to volunteering.

Dulcie explains that being an older volunteer has brought additional benefits. I can reminisce with my clients about the old times together, and I know they appreciate going back to “the good old days”. We never run short of things to talk about! It’s a humbling experience, and I only wish I had started befriending volunteering years ago.
